A deadly conspiracy.

Two rogue terror groups, one treacherous plan. An attack is coming but… where?

Detective Kate Bowen is no stranger to dealing with Ireland’s worst. Life in SIU, Dublin’s elite surveillance unit puts her in daily danger.
But what if the world’s worst terrorists formed an alliance… to hit an unknown target?

When an all-night stakeout near the Irish border unearths a rogue IRA faction, Kate and her team dig deeper. The investigation plunges Kate into a warren of France's disenfranchised Muslim youth where intel exposes a coalition between a vengeful Irish terrorist and a militant Islamic cell.

As sniping between rival intelligence agencies threatens to derail her case, and her boyfriend Charlie’s erratic behaviour rings alarm bells, Kate knows she needs more than the luck of the Irish to stop this menace.

A police procedural with a gritty female sleuth for fans of Graham Masterton’s Katie Maguire series or Vince Flynn’s fast-paced political thrillers.

Out in the blackness nothing stirred. Dig-in operations were like that; torturous. Anxiety was part of the deal.

Kate couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Agent handling was a dodgy business.

Reviews

From midway through chapter two I was hooked, like a greyhound after a hare turning each page, chasing down the story. It’s engaging, exciting and very fast paced.

— Michelle, Dublin.

This debut conspiracy (terrorism) thriller is a truly realistic read; an inside look into this sort of world where detectives are pitted against merciless killers with an unknown target and a race against the clock to stop the next attack.

Detective Kate Bowen, the story’s main character, is well defined, utterly human, hopelessly dedicated and driven in her mission, and has the character and complexity to grab your heart and sustain this series.

… the book is fast paced and propels you straight into the world of international terrorism and crime detection. Overall I enjoyed the book and was gripped from relatively early on.

An interesting mix of characters interact with Kate and she must deal with the pressures of her professional and love life. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it as a good read for the Christmas period or summer vacation.
